Plot

Ertaoz Bregvadze goes to the city intending to sell a chicken and pay off his father's debts. Upon arrival, he falls instantly in love with a beautiful woman named Margalita and decides to help her dispose of the body of her lover, a policeman. At the cemetery, the policeman unexpectedly regains consciousness and arrests Ertaoz along with the chicken. Ertaoz is sentenced to ten years in prison, while the bird receives seven.
